        The term "Change in Control, " "Change in Control of the Bank" or
"Change in Control of the Corporation" as used in this Executive Supplemental
Benefit Agreement (the "Agreement")] is amended effective as of this 16th day of

        For purposes of the Agreement, a "Change in Control" shall mean:

        (i)     The acquisition by a person or persons acting in concert of the
                power to vote twenty five percent (25%) or more of a class of
                the Corporation's voting securities, or the acquisition by a
                person of the power to direct the Corporation's management or
                policies, if the Board of Directors or the Office of Thrift
                Supervision has made a determination that such acquisition
                constitutes or will constitute an acquisition of control of the
                Corporation for the purposes of the Savings and Loan Holding
                Company Act or the Change in Bank Control Act and the
                regulations thereunder;

        (ii)    during any period of two (2) consecutive years during the term
                of this Agreement, individuals who at the beginning of such
                period constitute the Board of Directors of the Bank or the
                Corporation cease for any reason to constitute at least a
                majority thereof, unless the election of each director who was
                not a director at the beginning of such period has been approved
                in advance by directors representing at least two thirds (2/3)
                of the directors then in office who were directors in office at
                the beginning of the period;

        (iii)   the Corporation shall have merged into or consolidated with
                another corporation, or merged another corporation into the
                Corporation, on a basis whereby less than fifty percent (50%) of
                the total voting power of the surviving corporation is
                represented by shares held by former shareholders of the
                Corporation prior to such merger or consolidation; or

        (iv)    the Corporation shall have sold substantially all of its assets
                to another person. The term "person" refers to an individual,
